OK, here's the big moment: permanent removal of ECMO machine is happening now! We've been kicked out of her room because they've converted it into an operating room again for the second time today. Chrissie's now being operated on to remove the ECMO cannulas that are inserted at her neck that run down into her heart. They're going to open the bottom portion of Chrissie's sternum to suck out extra blood that's in there. Then they'll close everything up, and it's up to God and our warrior princess to show the world what this tag team can do!!! God is MIGHTY to save. He is mighty to save!!!

I haven't commented yet but I've been reading your blog for a few days now. I have been praying for Chrissie and your entire family throughout the day. I'm praying right now for the Dr.'s to have wisdom and for Chrissie's entire body to be healed...and for God to receive all of the glory.

there is power power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb...there is power power wonder working power in the PRECIOUS blood of the lamb...Jesus we ask rite now in the name of jesus that u pour your wonder working healing blood over chrissie rite now and breathe fresh life into her and make her new and fresh in you lord!!!We love you more than words can say!!!

When I shared your latest post on Facebook it required me to type in a code to approve and it was "it unbeaten" which made me think Chrissie will not be beaten. God will not be beaten. They will win. Together.

Praying. God is able and God is always good. He is our strength when we call on Him. He is our refuge and our shield. He holds the universe and our lives in His hands. He is our Healer, our Savior, our Redeemer and our Hope.He hears and answers our prayers and His answers always prove to be right.My devotion for today: The darkness and hopelessness of Jesus' death and the powerful and joyful resurrection that gives us eternal life. Praying that God would raise up Christyn Joy as a living testimony of God's healing power.Praying for clarity and wisdom for the Drs. and strength and grace and faith and hope for your family.Love and hugs and prayers,Debi

Fight, Chrissie, Fight!! We are praying hard for your much needed miracle. May all the systems in your body work the way they're supposed to and start to function perfectly so you can begin to experience complete healing. Imploring the Lord, all the angels and saints in heaven to grant you a miracle! Praying, Praying, Praying for you Chrissie!

Dear Lord we know what you can do, Please give us a miracle Dear Lord we need you to touch this lil girl with your healing hand, God be with this family and give them strength as we wait for the Miracle, In Jesus name we pray Amen.

praying for your sweet Serbain Sensation here in Indiana. I have been for the last several days--since I found you--but this is the first time I have commmented. Know, sweet child, that you are being prayed for constantly by a community of believers that KNOW the miracles that occur at the hand of the Almighty God.Vicky in Indiana

I am praying that God the Father Almighty will do all the breathing that CHRISTyn JOY will need to bring back to the perfect state of health. That the Lord of All will heal her heart and lungs, he is the only one that can give the Dr's all the guidance and expertise that they need to do what Chrissie needs right now. They have already seen many miracles, and they still have more to see.

Praying for all you to gain strength during all of this but mostly for CHRISTyn JOY, that she come out of this singing, running, dancing and playing with her brothers and sisters who are being so brave at home.

The whole world is pulling for you Chrissie....all the prayers are lifting you up. Please let the prayers take hold and make your heart beat easy and your breathes go smoothe. We are beating and breathing for you!

Our Ukrainian Additions

These are our new sons! Click their picture to read the story of how God worked miracles to lead us to them while in Ukraine Dec. '11.

Sons of our Heart

These were our Summer '11 host boys who we planned to adopt. God brought us to Ukraine Dec. 2011 to adopt them, but turned the events to lead us to adopt 2 six-year-old boys with Down syndrome! Our host boys now live with their bio aunt, but they'll always be sons in our hearts.

About Lorraine

Hi, I'm Lorraine. I'm just one member of Team Boss Your Heart, but I happen to be the one who keeps up with this little blog God started in December 2009. I'm mom to 13 (3 bio, 10 adopted, 1 in heaven), so I don't devote as much time to updating this blog much anymore--sorry! This is my online diary/scrapbook of sorts, a way to record this journey of large family--special needs--blessed by adoption--ranch living--Jesus loving life. Explore this blog (and BossYourHeart.com) to get to know us, as well as the ministry and testimony God has given us. It's not your typical family testimony, but it's the one He's written for us, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
